Abstract

In a recent interview, one of the most well-known American emigrants of the movie world, Stanley Kubrick, mused about his experiences living abroad in England:

If you live, say, in New York, you get the images of your neighborhood and your friends, but essentially it’s all the electronic-village stuff, and it isn’t that different now living anyplace, with cities being decentralized and computer modems and TV. (Grove, 1987, p. 65)
